This is a mid-tempo ballad whose warm message gently tells a loved one in tears from a painful experience, “please don’t be sad anymore,” and it really sinks into the heart.

The straight, crystalline vocals don’t just offer comfort—they richly convey the protagonist’s deep love as they trust and wait for the other person to start walking forward again.

Released in November 2013 as DEEN’s 41st single, the song also became well-known as the theme for the TV drama “A Woman of the Crime Lab” (Kasouken no Onna).

On nights when your heart is tired, let yourself be quietly wrapped in this song’s kindness.

Included as the final track on the June 2011 album “Graduation,” it’s a fitting conclusion to the album’s overarching theme.
